You have not written whether you have some work exposure in the above sectors or not during your articleship period.

If not; first of all join one consultancy firm which is engaged in these areas.

See the newspaper regularly. Chennai is a metro city and enough work exposure is there.

Also post your resume to naukri.com and monster.com etc..

Starting package would depend upon your personal presentation at the time of interview but at least 5 lacs (even 7-8 lacs as you have dual qualifications ) package you will get easily.

Till you find a place in a company of your choice; regularly update your knowledge in the above fields. It will give you benefits.

11 August 2010 Salary will obviously depend on the position that matches with your experience and qualification though I suppose 10 to 12 lacs p.a. should not be an issue.

My recommendation to you would be to move from Chennai to Mumbai where most of the action take place. After you gain a few years of experience in Mumbai you can then move to another place.

In addition, you should try and do CFA (www.cfainstitute.org) which will give you an edge over others.
